You don’t get to be up here without standing on the shoulders of a mountain of people, and there’s just no time to thank everyone…

I’d like to try and thank one person properly and say that while I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer.

If she hadn’t taken all that on so I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up here other than me today so, sweetheart; thank you.
